*~*~*~*~*~*Chapter 10: Ready per la sfera?*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A few weeks had passed since the incident. Makoto had decided not to reveal anything of her vision to her friends, her eyes troubled by what had happened. Adi seemed to have no memory of the event, her occasionally glazed over, much to the dismay of her older sister, who still didn't believe it what had happened was 'just another vision.'
Now it was time for the Yule Ball and everybody was excited, the ballroom is in a flurry of activity as several people were busy decorating it.
Even stingy old Snape seemed remotely interested in the ball…though of course he never said it.
Ami, Raye, Makoto, Adi, Minako and Edith (who was 'chaperoning' the girls) all walked into Madam's Mary's fashion boutique for young witches, a rather new shop which had sprung up on Diagon's alley.
"Does anybody have a date yet?" Minako asked excitedly, her blond hair beautifully tied up in a rather elaborate bun.
"No."
"Nope."
"Not yet."
"Hm."
"Not going."
The girls turned to Adi with disapproving eyes.
"Not going! Adi! Shame on you, you have to go." Minako said sternly, making an imitation of Professor McGonagall.
"Yeah, if the rest of us are going to be wall flowers, you have to be a wall flower too." Ami said playfully, swiftly hiding the book she was reading before Makoto could snatch it out of her hand.
"Fine, fine, I'll go, but if something bad happens, I'll blame it on…. You!" Adi pointed at her sister, teasing her.
"Me? Why me? I'm not the one who tried to convince you." Edith said with mock anger.
"Exactly." Adi teased back.
"Stop it right now! Girls, we are here," Minako said reverently at the dress section of the shop, her blue eyes gleaming with anticipation of shopping.
"Now, everyone split up and shop! We'll meet back here with our dresses, and remember, don't tell anyone what your wearing, it has to be a surprise." Edith said, excited as the rest of the girls split up to shop.
After a good half hour, Ami appeared at the designated spot and sat down comfortably, shopping bag in one hand and book in the other, and settled down to read her new book.
A half hour after that, Edith appeared, soon after Makoto, Adi and Raye. Minako took a little longer, but she blamed it on a bad clerk.
"Does everyone have what they need?" Edith asked, looking around.
"Yes." Came the chorus of replies.
"Good, now, all back to Hogwarts to change." Edith said, walking up to the nearest fireplace.
After throwing in some Floo Powder, they all shouted Hogwarts and walking into Hogwarts, into the girl's room.
"Okay everybody!" Edith said in Professor mood. "We're got three hours to get ready so... Move It!"
The girls scrambled to the different corners of the room set up specifically for that night, all having a separate change area, mirror and vanity.
After much primping, dressing, combing and styling, Ami was the first to appear in the middle of the room, wearing a long ice-blue gown with small silt on the side. The skirt moulded slightly to her body, showing off her lithe form. Her top was a high collared and sleeveless, with a silky shawl draped over her bare shoulders.
Her short hair was clipped up with small blue clips and her face had a little make-up of ice blue on her eyelids and shimmering silver gloss. Her shoes, were of course small-heeled shoes, stylishly cut. Her neck was graced with a small ice blue silver necklace and she had small earrings made of silver.
Edith came out next; her medium long chestnut hair was loose. Edith was wearing a short back skirt with an intricate design of roses sown into it. Her blouse was a pale green and also had roses on it. It was a little low-cut, but not indecent. She had a hint of make-up around the eyes accenting her eyelashes unnatural length.
"Wow Ami! You look great! I know someone else who you think so too…" Edith hinted, making Ami blush.
"Well, you look nice too, anyone I know?" Ami retaliated. Edith simply looked puzzled.
"Really? Who? She asked confused. Ami shook her head.
"Never mind."
"Hey Guys, how do I look?" A voice asked.
The two looked over to Raye, who had just finished.
Raye had worn a stunning long red skirt, which moulded her body and had a silt that went to mid-thigh.
Her hair was up in a bun with soft ringlets falling onto her face. A dark rich red blouse that was low cut and long loose sleeves was also there. A simple gold chain and large gold hoops adorned her as jewellery. Her lips had dark crimson lipstick on and red eye shadow around her eyes enhanced her beauty. And of course, Raye wore red high heels that showed off her ankles.
"It's definitely you." Ami admitted, watching Raye twirl around the room.
"Why thank-you." Raye replied, sitting elegantly in a chair waiting for the rest to arrive.
Makoto and Adi soon appeared one after the other.
Edith bit back her lip from commenting on Adi and Makoto's rather depressing attire.
Adi watched the group, waiting for a reaction. She was wearing a long straight skirt that opened up to her mid-thigh on both sides due to the two silts. Her top was a dark metallic blue blouse that had a modest neckline. The sleeves went past her hands in a wide gape, and there were silts in her sleevses that went from the sleeve ends to the shoulder, which were held together by lace.
The usual dark metallic silver chain with a black pendant hung around her white throat. Black earrings hung from her ears and barely touched her shoulder. A touch of gloss on her lips and dark eye shadow were her make-up choices, seeing as she didn't really need make-up. Her wavy black hair fell loose, and ended just above her hip in a wavy line.
Makoto beside her, was wearing a gown of dark green colour with accented her lithe figure.
Silts went up to her mid-thigh as well. Evening gloves of dark green went up to her mid arm. A choker of green with a dark purple dragon was on her neck, and she had her customary rose earning on her ears. Her hair was for once not in her customary ponytail, but in a mid bun, with her hair trailing down on to her neck. A bit of dark lipstick was on her lips, and a brushing of dark green eye shadow accented her green eyes.
"You guys look great." Ami said smoothly, interrupting Edith's silent protest.
"If a little depression, but you still look good, not as good as me though!" Minako exclaimed behind them cheerfully.
Makoto and Adi turned to Minako who was completely opposite of them. She was wearing a gold coloured grown like Makoto's, but it had a shimmering of the waves charm enchanted on it. Her hair was up in a large bun with little ringlets falling around her face. A shimmer of gloss and light dusting of pale gold eye shadow brightened her face. A circlet of gold hung around her slim waist and a chain of gold also hung around her neck.
"Wow! You guys look great! Now, we have to hurry or we'll be late, and e wouldn't want that now do we?" Minako said after surveying the rest of the girls and giving them her nod of approval. Ami's and Minako's opinion of their clothing made the rest girls feel much more relaxed about what they chose, after all, Sailor Pluto had been a fashion designer in civilian mode, and Minako was currently always at the top of the latest fashion back at home, of course Edith and Adi didn't know that, they simple knew that Minako and Ami had lots of experience in the fashion industry.
Walking out of the room, all feeling either confident or slightly shy about their looks, the group of girls headed down to where the Yule Ball was currently in place.
All hearing the music before they arrived.
